We are proud of the 27 students who successfully passed all the requirements and obtained the IB Diploma.
We are also proud of the students who challenged themselves and sat for some IB courses. 88 students
were registered for this examination session and it is pleasing to see the majority of IKNS graduates
awarded an IB certificate this session - we trust this has helped prepare them for their university
studies. Special congratulations go to Salman Dhaif for achieving the distinguished score of 40 points,
and the seven students who achieved adistinguished Diploma score between 34 and 40 points.
The average Diploma score was 32 points this session, which is higher than the May 2018 average
score of 31 points. The average subject grade obtained by Diploma students was a pleasing 5.19 (out of 7).
